Hi,
I'd love your input on choosing the Hound Dog Super over the Klarus XT32:
HD Super: $268.00, continuous 75kcd CW/ 70kcd NW, 9'' and 1.25hrs battery on MD4 body, can use extension tube to add 1x18650 (11'' total), rugged, lego-ability
XT32: $130.00 (Battery Junction, with charger and 2x18650), 10'', continuous about 70kcd for roughly 1.6hrs (https://www.reddit.com/r/flashlight...w_klarus_xt32_1000m_throwervideo_and_written/, photo of battery and output https://i.imgur.com/nIPJVIj.jpg I assume 100% is 250kcd, which leaves 50% = 0.5 x 250,000= 125,000 - the photo shows the output is closer to 60%, but I'm being conservative on this)
Currently, reasons to go with Malkoff I've read include quality, warranty, customer service, and "Buy once, cry once" mentality (which really adds to quality). They are all good reasons. It only appears to me, from the above, that the HD Super offers less for twice the price. What am I missing?
